Sega Superstars Tennis brings together Sega's many franchises for a tennis tournament spanning the varied worlds created by them over the last twenty years. Sixteen characters from fifteen different Sega game series are represented, as well as ten different courts based on those same franchises.
The game features Exhibition and Tournament modes. The first is a simple vs mode, while the tournament allows players to unlock new characters and courts over a series of matches and other challenges. Singles and doubles can be played by either humans or AI, with the player able to choose their doubles partner. Online play is included in the 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.
Each character has a special move that aids them in their tennis match, relating to the character. For example, Beat from Jet Set Radio has a power that allows the ball to grind against the net and shoot off at a random point, making it difficult to return. Minigames are included as both one-offs and part of the tournament.
Minigames include a Target-hitting game, The House of the Dead zombie killing game, a Space Harrier game, a Puyo Puyo game, a Virtua Cop game, and a Samba De Amigo-related game. These add to the overall tennis experience.
Sega Superstars Tennis is available on PlayStation 3 , released on 17 March 2008.
